Facilities

Policy type: Executive LimitationsPolicy code: EL-13

The CEO shall assure the availability of an appropriate education environment within physical facilities that are safe, efficient, and properly maintained and that support the accomplishment of the board’s Ends policies.

Accordingly, the CEO shall:

Develop a fiscally prudent; long-term facilities plan to establish priorities for construction, renovation and maintenance projects. In setting those priorities, the CEO shall:

Assign highest priority to the correction of unsafe conditions.

Include maintenance costs as necessary to enable facilities to reach their intended life cycles.

Disclose assumptions on which the plan is developed, including growth patterns, and the financial and human capital impact individual projects will have on other parts of the organization.

Ensure that facilities and equipment are not subject to improper wear and tear or insufficient maintenance.

Secure board authorization before building or undertaking major renovation of buildings.

These policies define how the Board will operate internally and govern itself to add value to the district. These policies address the Board’s own culture, how it will conduct business, and how members will conduct themselves and interact with each other.

These policies state the limitations imposed by the Board on the strategies and methods the superintendent and his or her staff may use, as they work to achieve the specified outcomes identified in the Ends Policies. The executive limitations establish the boundaries and operating expectations for staff.

These policies define the end results desired for our students and what they are expected to know and be able to do as a result of their educational experience. Ends Results policies are based on the Lake Washington School District Mission, Vision, Student Profile and Guiding Principles.

The Lake Washington School District does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, disability, age, gender, marital status, creed, religion, honorably discharged veteran, military status, sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression, the presence of any sensory, mental or physical disability, or the use of a trained guide dog or service animal by a person with a disability, in its programs and activities and provides equal access to the Boy Scouts and other designated youth groups.
